I flew PDX-NRT-SGN on 27 Aug
SGN-NRT-PDX 27 Sep 2017
It seemed DL changed the earning charts on 1 Sep 2017 for VE
So, even though ticketed, 006 on DL, I earned no miles, no MQM for the 27 Sep trip. I wrote Delta and got some nonsense response, since their site still says that if ticketed by Delta I'd get credit.
This is not so important, BUT I also have a flight in December on Air France, AF metal, AF marketed, in PE, A, , BUT ticketed 006, on DL.
I thought I would earn MQD based on a % of base miles, but now I am unsure.
Can someone please explain.
Thanks

I've had check-in and lounge agents often switch from Flying Blue to Millemiglia and vice-versa, at various points in various itineraries. Have done it with Aegean Miles+Bonus/Etihad Guest; BA Executive Club and Aer Lingus Aer Club; Aegean Miles+Bonus and Lufthansa Miles & More in the past.
(Flying Blue lounge agents will typically enter the number of whatever status card you provide for lounge access purposes into the reservation if you have a different programme/number on the boarding pass - so if this is not what you want, you have to watch out and stop them).

, I have had a number of UA itineraries credited to LH for outbound and UA for inbound. LH generally credit in two days. By the time when I change FFP to UA, LH credit has posted. UA has never reversed LH credit and re-credit UA for the outbound. Inbound was credited to UA as expected.BTW, time to add [FARE GONE] to thread title and move it.

That has not been my experience. Due to year end management of PQM , I have had a number of UA itineraries credited to LH for outbound and UA for inbound. LH generally credit in two days. By the time when I change FFP to UA, LH credit has posted. UA has never reversed LH credit and re-credit UA for the outbound. Inbound was credited to UA as expected.

Depends. UA stores the FFN in the PNR and then sweeps the PNR a couple days after flying for crediting. If there are several days between legs (e.g., outbound and return a week apart), yes, you can credit one direction to one program, and another to the other.
If it's only a day or two, if you change the FFN for the return or onward leg, and the first leg hasn't swept yet, then all may post to the second FFN.

Is there a consensus on where best to credit this for someone with no status?
AKL-SYD-LAX-OAK-LAX-MEL-AKL
My ticket number starts with 795 so I am assuming this is VA stock?
Seems like KL earns 100% and VS earns 150%
VA seems rather useless to me as I have no way of topping off the account.
Any help would be appreciated.

I used a very small number of Citi Thank You points + paid the balance with a Citi credit card for our tickets. There is nothing in the fare rules that I saved from the Citi Thank You travel portal immediately after my purchase that suggests that I purchased a "bulk", "consolidator" or "wholesale" fare. However, I am hoping that these flights post as "exception" fares. Does anyone here have any experience with how Delta flights typically post when partially purchased with TYP?
